the top ten questions

| One thing you may want to do is diversify; Unix, Solaris, Win 2k, programming, wireless with frequency jumping and switching. I see the market in the future will be MLS, and the price of all this hardware, is going to drop, in time 1900, 5000, 5500,6k, 7k, G, XL, Cards, modules are going to come down in price, on the other hand software will go up? Just like the P.C, things are going to change in price, software on the otherhand?
The next thing to consider is jobs, I have no experience in networking, but I have hope, even when Greenspan pulled the plug on the market, the. Com came down; this of course led to the Cisco people to lose their jobs, therefor the pecking order right now is experience first, support (ccna) second, nevertheless, the rise of networking is inevitable, nothing short of an air burst with EMP is going to stop this runaway freight train.
As for me, I am burned out of studying. One thing is for sure I have made it this far, I have passed Network + CCNA (93.5), I expect to pass the Switching exam soon (with a high score) and then go to some other discipline and I did all this at home. Secondly, I have to regroup (in Cancun) and recover from book burn out I will not stop! What should this tell a potential employer? This self-motivated person has the wherewithal to attack a new technology, and have a certain amount of basic understanding and success. Does this matter?
Now maybe you good folks can help me, I have never been to an interview (I am somewhat gainfully employed) so I am waiting and studying. When I go for an interview, what are some questions that they may ask?
How about a top ten list that all of you can remember from your interviews in regards to networking.
Thank you in advance

| Actually, the latest article in The Lounge kind of addresses your question.
As far as questions, most question I have ever received in an interview were of CCNA level difficulty. | |

| Instead of answering questions, ASK the
questions. Your potential employer only has so much time
in the day to spend on interviewing you, therefore, spend
as much of that time as possible making him/her answer
YOUR questions. | |

| I am very curious to know as well... What types of question are ask?
CCNA covers a broad topic so can you be more specific?
May be they stop at ccna with you because you have not got your ccnp yet.
I uesed Tod and ICND score 950 on the ccna and I already forgot everything. | |

| Most of them didn't know I had ANY certifications. A good portion of the Qs I've been asked are political in nature. Like, given situation "B", how would you react?
As far as techinical Qs go . . . here's an example:
How would configure a router to send it's
logs to a syslog server?
At what layer of the OSI would you find
segments?
How would you configure a default route
on a router?
What are the two types of virtual circuits?
What is a DLCI?
Describe the difference between routing
protocols and routed protocols.
Those are the types of Qs I've seen. Depending on the position you're applying for, the Qs you receive could be easier or harder . . . but those are pretty much standard. Remember, interview Qs ARE adaptive. >=) | |
